another mysterious bug...?

css bug

[cuce]

hey all, i'm fairly new to css, so here's my problem.
the box containing all of the elements is supposed to be 720px and it seems to be ok in mozilla but it is not in internet explorer(mac and pc), its adds 10 or 20px extra onto the box

here is the url..
<No URLs, thanks. See TOS [WebmasterWorld.com] and CSS Forum Charter [WebmasterWorld.com]>

any help would be appreciated
thanks

Hi cuce - Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

have you anything inside that div which would cause IE to stretch the width.. e.g. something that would add up to more than 720px wide

e.g. an element that has width 100%/720px specified and also has some padding or borders effectively making it too wide for the container.

IE will stretch a containing element rather than overflow it, i.e. if content is too wide/long for a specified width/height box.
